SUNK BY WARSHIPS.

THE FATE OF THE BREMEN

San Francisco, April 9. Tho first piece of news ever published in the world regarding the fate of the million-dollar German mercantile submarine, the Bremen, the sister chip of the Deutschlandj has j ust been given to a San. Francisco evening newspaper, when John M. Barlow, a New York and Boston stockbroker and dealer in European exchange, stated that the Bremen was sunk last June while ti earing tho .New England port of New London, and that proofs of tho loss have been submitted to the Santa Fo and the Southern Pacific Railway Companies, and other American corporations in order to have placed over j 2,500,000 dollars of their bonds which went down with it. Interviewed. Mr. Barlow said: "Tie Bremen was sunk by British warships patrolling the Atlantic from the Canadian east coast south to Baltimore ,very early in July. 1916. and while the world was still electrified with the Deutechland's first trip to the port of Baltimore with a 7.000,000 dollar cargo of dyestuffs under the now famous Captain Koenig. The New York financial chiefs of the Southern Pacific arealready satisfied with the proofs presented' of the loss of its securities with the ill-fated Bremen, and will replace them, as is the undoubted decision, to do co of tho Santa Fe and Union Pacific. The British authorities know all about the sinking of the Bremen. The sensational story of how it was accomplished, however, has never been made known so far as I know. The first definite news of the loss came through German channels."
